You sir, are a liar... and a thief.

What is the playthrough requirement for p2p transfers?

There is no playthrough requirement.

Lock is broke and can't cash anyone out right now.

This BS about security needing to investigate each cashout is laughable.

It is extremely easy to tell who is a legitimate player and who is just receiving transfers and cashing out. Even my 2-year-old son could do this job within a short period of time.

Lock is broke and is reaching for every excuse to cancel cashouts.

BTW Shane, please explain this e-mail, which a 2+2 poster received today:

If the above isn't true, why is Steven still writing this stuff, nearly 2 weeks after this disasterous situation began?

If the above isn't true, why would Steven write it? Wouldn't he have been informed of the correct policy, given all of the time passed and the subsequent panic?

not at all, as i said, no harm in taking an extra few moments prior to tying up ones money for a couple of months in a test; also said they might very well not pick up, given every thing else that certainly wouldn't surprise; useless is resorting to name calling of strangers and curse words while claiming others to be ignorant...grow up, sorry they're screwing you over if they are (believe it or not) but its hardly MY ******edness that got you in that situation.

Winnings derived from player transfers aren't eligible for payouts? So you can seed your account with a transfer, however you also can't withdraw any winnings based off of buy ins that are from a transfer, and if your account balance is a mix of your own deposited funds and transferred funds then it's up to lock to decide which funds were used to purchase specific buy ins for specific games, namely the ones in which you win money the funds used to buy in were transferred funds therefore making your winnings ineligible. Haha there's just no way that's real, if so they've taken it way past the point where they should have given up and stopped defending their actions, obviously no one taught them how to gracefully disappear.

Hey Imjustshane,

Good luck finding another job in online poker after this ship sinks. How's it feel to be a fall out guy btw?

LOL @ "legitimate players"

How about running a "legitimate site"????

Did you guys conspire this all along so you can buy lock money .25 cents on the dollar and then, BAM immediate profit?

Good luck doing this $2k at a time... you'll be a mirrionaire

lol, I think he's sarcastically referring to Lock themselves...as in perhaps that's the actual "conspiracy" to manipulate the price of Lock $'s as I'm sure most like me are yet to understand how if player funds are held seperate at a 1:1 ratio (assuming they are) that said "manipulation" of off site pricing affects them in any real way, especially since they have an apparent window of months to pay out.

This is either an unforgivable error and Steven should be fired or it is true and Lock Poker is in very bad shape.

bump

I meant lock themselves didn't do a good job clarifying that.

And are you offering lock funds, or something that actually has value and you can cash out?

I challange you to answer the following.

Do you understand the venom against the company you work for , and you yourself?

How would you feel if you were a player on lock and didn't play for them waiting 1/4 of a year for money?

How would you feel if you were constantly being told situations would change and they did not, and you had your hard earned money on the site and can not get to it?

Comeon man, you have to understand why people are so upset, and what lock is doing to people is criminal, not just unethical.
The only reason that you still have players is lack of choice and the addiction that is internet poker.

What's the official rule now?
In regards to cashing out transferred funds?

According to JimAfternoon in the "According to the email I just got..." thread:


Damn....does the company at its sole discretion reserve the right to kick my puppy, too?

Well they will kick your puppy if they thought it was some kind of "conspiracy" to "steal" from lock.

Just wanted to say that this is a COMPLETE lie and that my friend and I are 100% legitimate players. He xferred me 3k or something to start playing on the site, and I simply xferred the money back once I'd won enough to have my own money on the site. Neither of us can cash out because of the policy... both of our cash outs were cancelled and we've not heard anything since.

Sounds like you aren't a legitimate player.

Sounds like they aren't a legitimate company!!

an update, I posted in this thread earlier saying that I backed players on lock, Im canadain. Got what little Money I had on lock in 17 hours from request to in a moneybookers account. All funds were used solely for staking and most was purchased through P2P transfers. Only a couple hundred bucks but good signs???

Good for you, but it's not really a good sign. A skeptical person would point out that a failing site would rather make a lot of small, quick payments to build up some positive publicity, whereas a solid site would be paying the large amounts that have been outstanding for 4, 5, 6, or 7 months. From what we can tell, the evidence is saying that the cash is gone.
